305-024-520-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual-row configuration providing 24 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating specifications, and mounting style compatibility. Ensure that the target application environment falls within the stated operating temperature limits and that the PCB thickness matches the connector's acceptance criteria before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided cards. Confirm that the system design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints. Evaluate thermal management requirements against the +105°C maximum rating and verify that the 5 A current capacity meets the circuit load demands.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and position counts. The series is characterized by low-profile insulator bodies and standardized contact spacing. This specific model represents a 24-position variant within the broader family of standard card edge connectors manufactured by EDAC Inc.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-016-520-268 or 305-032-520-268 if different position counts are needed while maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications.
